Miller Edge MWave Intelligent Radar Motion Sensor for Commercial Doors

Product Description

The Miller Edge MWave Intelligent Radar Sensor is a hands-free motion-activation sensor designed for commercial, industrial, and high-performance door systems.

Using Doppler radar technology and two independently configurable relay outputs, the MWave can distinguish between pedestrians and vehicles, as well as approaching traffic and cross traffic. This allows the door to open only for selected types of movement, helping reduce unnecessary door cycles, improve traffic flow, and limit energy loss.

The sensor is suitable for indoor and outdoor installations and is designed for demanding environments such as warehouses, parking structures, cold-storage facilities, auto dealerships, fire stations, and high-speed door openings.

Key Features

• Miller Edge model MWave
• Intelligent Doppler radar motion detection
• Two independently configurable relay outputs
• Differentiates between pedestrians and vehicles
• Recognizes approaching and cross traffic
• Can filter unwanted parallel traffic
• Hands-free door activation
• Adjustable detection field

• Swivel mounting bracket
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• IP67 and NEMA 6 environmental protection
• Optional ground-level remote programming
• Three-year manufacturer warranty

Intelligent Traffic Detection

The MWave can be configured to respond differently based on the type and direction of detected traffic.

Depending on programming, the sensor can recognize:

• Approaching vehicles
• Departing vehicles
• Pedestrian traffic
• Vehicle traffic
• Cross traffic
• Parallel traffic
• Selected combinations of traffic types

This functionality allows an installer to reduce false or unnecessary activations. For example, the sensor may be programmed to activate a warehouse door for approaching forklifts while ignoring pedestrians or vehicles traveling across the doorway.

Dual-Relay Operation

The MWave includes two selectable normally open or normally closed relay outputs.

The dual-relay design can be used to create separate responses for different traffic conditions, such as:

• Relay 1 for vehicle detection
• Relay 2 for pedestrian detection
• Separate outputs for approaching and cross traffic
• Separate activation functions within the door-control system

Final relay configuration depends on the operator, control panel, and application requirements.

Common Applications

The Miller Edge MWave is commonly used with:

• High-speed doors
• High-performance doors
• Commercial overhead doors
• Industrial rolling doors
• Parking-garage entrances
• Warehouse doors
• Loading-dock openings
• Cold-storage facilities
• Auto dealerships
• Fire and first-responder stations
• Manufacturing facilities
• Automated vehicle-access points

Miller Edge specifically identifies high-speed doors, first-responder facilities, cold storage, dealerships, and warehouse facilities as typical applications.

Specifications are based on published Miller Edge and authorized distributor information.

Outdoor and Harsh-Environment Use

The MWave carries an IP67 rating and is designed to resist:

• Rain
• Snow
• Dust
• Dirt
• Debris
• Wet operating conditions

The sensor may be used indoors or outdoors when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and properly protected wiring practices.

Adjustable Detection Field

The included swivel mounting bracket allows the installer to aim the radar detection field toward the intended traffic path.

Detection performance can be adjusted based on:

• Mounting height
• Sensor angle
• Door width
• Vehicle approach direction
• Desired detection distance
• Traffic speed
• Nearby pedestrian or cross traffic

Careful positioning and programming are necessary to prevent unintended door activation.

Optional MWave Remote Control

The optional Miller Edge MWave Remote Control allows installers to configure the sensor from ground level without repeatedly accessing the mounted unit.

The remote may be used to adjust compatible settings such as:

• Detection sensitivity
• Traffic direction
• Pedestrian or vehicle filtering
• Relay behavior
• Output hold time
• Detection-field settings

The MWave remote control is sold separately unless specifically stated as included.

Operator Compatibility

The MWave can be used with many commercial door and access-control systems that accept a compatible dry-contact relay activation input.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Door-operator manufacturer and model
• Available activation-input terminals
• Required normally open or normally closed signal
• Accessory power requirements
• Mounting location and height
• Desired traffic-filtering functions
• Indoor or outdoor installation conditions

The MWave is an activation sensor. It should not automatically be treated as a substitute for required monitored entrapment-protection devices, photo eyes, sensing edges, or other UL 325 safety equipment.

Package Contents

• One Miller Edge MWave Intelligent Radar Sensor
• One adjustable swivel mounting bracket

Remote control, wiring, power supply, operator, control panel, photo eyes, sensing edges, mounting fasteners, and other accessories are not included unless specifically shown or stated in the product listing.

Installation Notes

Installation requires connecting the sensor to a compatible power source and the appropriate activation terminals on the commercial door operator or control panel.

The installer must correctly configure:

• Power input
• Normally open or normally closed output
• Relay assignment
• Detection direction
• Detection sensitivity
• Pedestrian and vehicle filtering
• Output hold time
• Mounting angle and detection field

Professional installation is recommended, especially in high-traffic commercial or industrial environments.

Safety Warning

The MWave is primarily intended for motion activation and traffic detection. It must not be used to bypass or replace required monitored safety devices.

After installation, test the complete door system under all expected traffic conditions. Confirm that the sensor activates the door only for the intended traffic and that all photo eyes, sensing edges, reversing devices, and operator safety functions work correctly.
